Let's not forget one other reason gun show prices are high - the company putting the show on has raised their table prices to new highs because they KNOW the place is going to be packed and folks will be selling a lot of stuff. If any of you have ever set up the white tent at a craft fair or similar know, spaces at these events can get VERY pricey - that, and the seller's gas, motel, food, etc. all have to be recouped as well
